I get this is an old video… but you no what I really love the father son aspect of simply camping but then playing cards by camp light few cheeky ciders good grub what more could you possibly want.. what a nice bit of father an son time ❤
Always fun to see Tom again enjoying time with his Dad and of course to see Maggie getting special treats at the camp kitchen! Cheers to you Simon and to Tom!
This has to be the most heart warming, touching and feel good video I have ever seen on your channel Simon. The connection you and Tom have when you're camping out together is absolutely precious. He's an absolute credit to you and you are a wonderful dad. I can't stop smiling after watching that!! :)
I am 65 yes old and I remember the backpack fishing trips with my Dad , happiest times of my life. I'm from Upper Michigan US . Trust me your son will cherish that time together when he becomes a old man too.
It's so nice to see a dad that cares enough to take his son camping and also to see a son that is willing to spend time with his dad...creating memories that will never be forgotten and growing in experience because of this time together. My brother and I grew up without a dad and wish that we could have known him and shared those same experiences. Enjoy your time together and I look forward to seeing more adventures with Simon, Tom and Maggie. What a great team!
This video was so heartwarming to watch. The bond between Simon and Tom is priceless. And to see Maggie getting her special treats is precious. I actually was moved to tears, which is quite rare for me. Thank you for allowing us all to share in this experience of a father and son bonding. Much appreciate your hard work Simon. Thank you and much love and respect from Minnesota, USA.❤
I can’t believe I’ve just spent 35 minutes of my life watching a bloke and his son play cards in a tent on a frosty evening. And cooking up sumptuous kebabs and good breakfast the following morning! Hahaha. Great memories made. I must prise my grandsons from the parental grip and do likewise. Thanks.
This is an amazing video, Simon. It is so important for fathers and sons to spend time together like this. And Tom seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself rather than just going through the motions the way some teens do. A very well mannered young man too. Good job, Dad. Tom, hope to see you again in future videos. Cheers, mates! 🇬🇧 🇺🇲
Hello Simon, Tom and precious Maggie. Good to see her enjoying the trip. Have a great end of the week and upcoming weekend. Sorry to hear that you have a cold. Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for going out there and hope it helps you feel better. Stay safe and warm til the next one.
Hi fellas and Maggie. Looks like you all had a great time. Tom I hope you took a few quid off your old dad playing cards. It’s what I think a lot of youngsters miss out on, bonding with their parents especially camping trips. Sorry to hear about you being a Norwich fan Tom, you can always join us Hammers! Thanks for another great video Simon really enjoyed seeing you all. Up the Canaries!
I always really enjoy these videos. It makes me smile not only that Maggie still gets around well enough to go on camps with you but that Tom still wants to as well. Cheers! - Shane from Texas
Hey, being outdoors is where our ancestry, our genetic code pours down from. It's as natural as being born and dying in my opinion. As a former Royal Marine Commando who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can safely say that being outdoors in the middle of nowhere, in all that wild natural landscape, that vastness makes me think "what am I to all of this? I'm insignificant...so my problems are insignificant, too"
@@robertcole9391 ahh good man, always a pleasure to meet acquaintance with a fellow vet - 22 years myself. In that case, you're not just my mate, but a brother in arms. Stay safe mate
Well would you look at Tom!! Guying out the tent and splitting the firewood?? He isn't even my kiddo and I'm finding myself feeling so proud of him!! Great job raising a great kiddo, Simon! Cheers!
Nice camp Simon, I thought Felix's knife was rather good especially for one so young, he definitely has a good eye. I'll have to take my boy out with me camping now and give him a cider, he is old enough (34) infact he's probably had more ciders than me already! Yum kebabs looked great:)
@@felixpelletier4296 you sir make beautiful knives. Just looked at some of the knives on your Instagram. That competition chopper of yours which has a look of a Japanese Nata I'm sure is a absolute beast in the field. Looking forward to seeing more of your knives make it into the wild.
Now that’s what it’s all about Family. I’m recently divorced and i try and spend as much time with my son as i can teaching him all i know about life without Technology. You can’t beat it. Great video thank you. 🍺🍺👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi simon, great video. Do want to metion taht CO (carbon monoxide) is actualy heavier then oxigen and most other gasses in the air. General advice is to have it bellow your head level while sleeping (atleast as far as gass stoves and similar are concerned). The confusion comes from smoke detectors as smoke does rise.
Thank you Joeri! That is a common misconception - CO is actually slightly lighter than air - the advised height for a CO detector is around 5’ off the ground 👍
Do more of these with Tom!!! These are what he will cherish most later as an adult an you are gone, sooooo polite !! Someday you will take Tom and his kids on overnighters, will be awesome memories with Dad and Grandad!!!
Good ol' Maggie guarding the tent doorway! Tom is such an awesome young man. A beautiful winter's camp. Seasons Greetings to you and yours. 👍🇨🇦🌲🐾🎁🎅⭐🔥🌏🧦⛺
With you and your youtube colleague, Andy, cooking while camping, I get to witness a culinary extravaganza. I love lamb, but unfortunately I married into a non-lamb eating family. It is also great watching Maggie get her fair share of the feasting with you and your son. Finishing your overnight camping with a full English breakfast was just wonderful. Great video. I wish you and yours an early Merry Christmas . . . or is it Happy Christmas on your side of the "big pond?" **LOL**
Maggie, the BEST camping critter there is. Love the family time and the holiday lights. Ah yes, and the cocoa makes it official. My pomoly stove was a holiday gift that just arrived.
Great to see father, son and dog camping together. The stuff of fond memories... As a Canadian though, I have a hard time calling this winter camping... lol
the best times of my life was with my Dad when he was still here so every time you get time to spend with your son Tom do it because i have a daughter and grandson but I don't get to spend time with them because they live 900 Miles away so go out there and make great memories and time's and always remember safety frist and keep making videos.
Im sure the dog is wandering … „why do I have to wait, when you set up the camera..?“ Nice 👍 All kidding aside, a nice memory for your son to have, time with his old man … 🙏🏻… good job sir 👏
Time spent with parents, wifey, sons, daughters, friends and/or treasured pets are very precious indeed, whatever activity you choose but camping is definitely near the top of the list. ENJOY!!!!
Great video again Simon and Tom and Maggie ! Lovely camping with your own family is always great ! Thinking of that i was pleasantly surprises a couples of weeks ago when my son asked me of he could join me on an coming canoe trip a planner next year !! Great news for me and a great things to look forward to !! Keep them coming !!
Looks like Dad enjoyed this as much as Tom and Maggie…My daughters are grown and gone, with grown kids of their own. When we gather they have fond memories of car/tent camping in the Smoky Mountains. Thanks for sharing this…from US, east Tennessee.
Great to see you and your family again……Maggie is adorable……You and Andy always seem in tune with your uploads at similar times…..not that I’m complaining :)
When I was 12 my dad and I were sleeping in the back of a Ford pickup just above Ellensburg, WA, for a solid weekend of pheasant and chukar hunting. It got so cold our bird dog slowly inched his nose, head, body and tail to the bottom of my mummy bag-- I think ol' Ben saved my life that night, lolz. You should have had Maggie join you! Great vids. Thanks.
Great camp out and special time to spend with your Son and good old Maggie. Enjoyed this adventure thanks for sharing. Sending wishes for a quick recovery of the cold.
Absolutely warmed my heart to see you all having good wholesome fun. These memories with Dad will last a lifetime. Hugs to you both and extra scritches for beautiful Maggie.
I almost dived off mid-vid, for a kebab. My tipple of choice is Proper Job, now where are my car keys? Great vid, once again. All three of you looked as though you had a splendid time.
I come to the comments first as I love to read alllll you wonderful souls words :)) God bless you all and may health wealth abundance joy and peace be your reality for all time I love you all ps I’m gonna get comfy with my wee new rescue pup n we will soak in this awesomeness…..ps those of us that didn’t have a dad like Simon I’m sure our inner kids are along on ruse journeys and they feel safe and are having a ball too xx thank you sir for all you do you actually help slot of souls heal …you help us heal sir 🙏🏼⛺️
This reminds me of me and my dad sadly we dont camp he's a taxi driver so always working but before him snd my mum split me and him would sit in the dining room have a good few beers and I'd aldo be having a joint as he doesnt smoke qeed anymore and we'd be playing cribbage. Dads still alive which im obviously grafetul for. This just reminds me of me and my good ol' scotsman father💯🤝♥️
Remember Christmas Vacation from third grade! My little sister and I spent the ten days off with Chickenpox we caught from my older sister! Ten days as a child Cooped up Inside! Wow the Memories! Looking Forward to another Father/Son video
A very welcome video again! Dad, Son and Mans Best Friend! Thank You again for another informative relaxing video. The Only way to Top this is to have Mrs Bloke in a video! Thank You and your Family for sharing this with Us!
Hi boys great to see someone's braving the damp 🙂. I think someone needs to speak to Santa for some new boots 🤣... Maggie u are gorgeous I wish I still had my boy to cuddle up to lost him 3 weeks ago ☹️ . Stay dry and comfy.
SEE THIS SMILE😁 TIMES IT BY TEN 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 cause a bloke in the woods is sharing a video again with us. Get better Simon and always great when Maggie and Tom are along!!
Really nice to see the terrific Trio out in the woods again. And Tom, if your dad's doing the card dealing, you might as well know you're going to lose. Not saying he's doing anything shady there, But!😜
One of my favourite videos Simon. Closeness of family, connection & reverence to nature, lovely feel good one to watch. And of course the legend that is ' Maggie'. Thank you for allowing us into your world at such close quarters.
I love the fact you let him sleep and started up the wood stove in the morning. Great dad and precious times together. Just lovely :)
There's something strangely comforting listening to a dog eat.
I get this is an old video… but you no what I really love the father son aspect of simply camping but then playing cards by camp light few cheeky ciders good grub what more could you possibly want.. what a nice bit of father an son time ❤
Good dad lad and dog time tom has impeccable manners should be so proud God bless you all
Always fun to see Tom again enjoying time with his Dad and of course to see Maggie getting special treats at the camp kitchen! Cheers to you Simon and to Tom!

This is the BEST video so far. I just discovered your channel recently so I'm streaming a bit. I love your channel, Simon!
Good camp, good food, good company. What more could you ask for 😁
Thank you , Simon and Tom .

Beautiful and memorable times together . Always remembered as good times. Something to pass along through the next generations. Invaluable ❤️
Maggie!
A bloke, his son and dog in the woods. You have to love that
This is something parents have gotten away from.. Taking the family out and camping... Great to see you and you son bonding.

Well would you look at Tom!! Guying out the tent and splitting the firewood?? He isn't even my kiddo and I'm finding myself feeling so proud of him!! Great job raising a great kiddo, Simon! Cheers!
Your son is so nice and polite and a nice bond there x😊
It is just one of the best examples of why I like outdoors. It let u to connect with your family, ur friends, people ❤

Wow, thank you Sandy! It means a lot coming from you
@@felixpelletier4296 Your very welcome Felix, keep it up:)
Wiltshire Man, give the son a Bells whiskey. Yup, you'll need to take your son camping. Bet you'll really have a good time.
@@felixpelletier4296 you sir make beautiful knives. Just looked at some of the knives on your Instagram. That competition chopper of yours which has a look of a Japanese Nata I'm sure is a absolute beast in the field. Looking forward to seeing more of your knives make it into the wild.
Love videos with you and Tom, looks like a lovely evening!
the comments section of Simons videos are possibly the only pure and wholesome place left on the internet
When it's cold and damp, nothing warms the bones like a wood stove. Looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Now that’s what it’s all about Family. I’m recently divorced and i try and spend as much time with my son as i can teaching him all i know about life without Technology. You can’t beat it. Great video thank you. 🍺🍺👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love it when you camp with Tom and Maggie. Tom has an amazing smile and his eyes sparkle.
Great camp with you son & Maggie. Thank you for sharing ❤

Priceless times spent together, can't beat it. Catchin up with your videos Simon, keep em comin.
lovely to see you two out again, Tom is such a lovely smiley fella, and of course lovely floofy Maggie merry Christmas "in the woods" family
Thank you! And a very merry Christmas to you too! 🎄😊

Hi Simon always good to see you and Tom out in the woods. Good food and good company makes for a great camp. I loved the disappearing tent effect.
Thank you please
What a handsome son you have. Great I’m sure spending time together.
Thanks Simon, you are wonderful and such a kind soul.
Maggie, the BEST camping critter there is. Love the family time and the holiday lights. Ah yes, and the cocoa makes it official.
My pomoly stove was a holiday gift that just arrived.
What a fine young man your son is. I love seeing the three of you together. He will be a bushcraft wizard learning from the best.
Father & son is always the best. God bless you both. 🙏🏼⛺️👍🏼
Hope you’re back soon mate really miss your videos 👍
Great to see father, son and dog camping together. The stuff of fond memories...
As a Canadian though, I have a hard time calling this winter camping... lol
Simon, a cool dad in the woods

Perfect Simon, great way to spend an evening, not seen or heard of that card game before.
Thanks mate - the game has a slightly different, and ruder name - same letters though 😉😂
Time spent with parents, wifey, sons, daughters, friends and/or treasured pets are very precious indeed, whatever activity you choose but camping is definitely near the top of the list. ENJOY!!!!
Great video again Simon and Tom and Maggie !
Lovely camping with your own family is always great !

Tom will cherish memories like this for the rest of his life, and so will Maggie! Beautiful stuff!
Maggie, the most important piece of camping equipment! Don't ask me: Simon said so in a kit video 😉👍
Great to see you and your family again……Maggie is adorable……You and Andy always seem in tune with your uploads at similar times…..not that I’m complaining :)
I noticed it also! Love it that I can do one right after the other! Both are great on their own and perfect together. Simple And Informative!
When I was 12 my dad and I were sleeping in the back of a Ford pickup just above Ellensburg, WA, for a solid weekend of pheasant and chukar hunting.

You should have had Maggie join you!
Great vids. Thanks.
It is so good to see all three of you out camping!
Great to see the classic Maggie walk in the woods. She could tow a tiny trailer! Great vid as usual and nice to see Tom and Maggie joining in.
Astonishing that you made what we Americans would call a full English breakfast out in the woods. Glad Maggie shared.
Good times you can't replace
Great camp out and special time to spend with your Son and good old Maggie. Enjoyed this adventure thanks for sharing. Sending wishes for a quick recovery of the cold.
Absolutely warmed my heart to see you all having good wholesome fun. These memories with Dad will last a lifetime. Hugs to you both and extra scritches for beautiful Maggie.
Lovely to see Tom out with you Simon, can't beat a bit of quality time spent together.
One thumb up from Finland for that chow for the dog :)
No, not a damp cold! You seemed to survive in style! 😉
Father and Son time......So special and pleasing to see. Thanks guys.
Good afternoon Simon unfortunately for me I have to go back to work but I will be watching this later on afterwards
Until then have a good night
I almost dived off mid-vid, for a kebab. My tipple of choice is Proper Job, now where are my car keys?
Great vid, once again. All three of you looked as though you had a splendid time.
Proper job👍
What a lovely boy you have Simon. Treasure him always.
Quality time with the laddie and the hound makes a quality video. 💪👍
Having your camping guest have a good night's sleep is the best reward, isn't it.
Maggie the Magnificent. So nice to see you out and about.
Good see another video nice one good to see Maggie 🍻😁👍👍
Nothing like father and son time in the woods
When you're too busy eating to say anything, you know the food is delicious.
Tom and Maggie were a nice surprise ⛺️🐕🦺

Ok, I have to know, what card game is that???? Love your videos by the way.
Yay!

Thanks for that Simon!
I'm on day 9 of self isolation.
Beer ran out 4 days ago.
And food running low. You just made my day with a superb video.
Beer ran out 😂 sorry to hear that. Hope your well tho mate. I had to isolate last month it was horrible
Thanks mate - I hope the remaining days speed by! And in the mean time get an Ocado delivery and restock!!

It must have been freezing the dog was shivering....
She wasn’t shivering, it’s a nerve thing in her legs, they’ve quivered for her whole life 👍
Had I not SEEN it, I would NEVER have believed so much could useably fit into that tent!
Really nice to see the terrific Trio out in the woods again. And Tom, if your dad's doing the card dealing, you might as well know you're going to lose. Not saying he's doing anything shady there, But!😜
